Irc - Chat service

IRC is fairly easy to use and a lot of people get wound up in it very fast: that’s why it’s one of the most widespread tools of electronic
communication (more than e-mail by now).

The IRC network we offer is called mufhd0 and is administered by A/I, ECN and indivia
projects together. You can access the network from each one of these project nodes via an IRC client as X-Chat,
or Irssi (Linux command line).

Among these tools, we strongly encourage X-Chat, since it allows for encrypted connections via SSL and also allows to connect to IRC
via Tor.

To know how to configure a IRC client and what channels are available on our network, for more info on various IRC commands and services,

Jabber - instant messaging

Jabber (also known as XMPP) is a faster communication system for people
connected to the Internet. It’s very similar both to chat and instant
messaging (like MSN, Google Talk, Yahoo IM, and so on), but it’s actually
much more flexible.
